Reviews

“… does a service in describing various forms of community development and the many definitions of community. As the book covers these issues, it makes a contribution to the debate about community development in some of the nation’s most deprived neighborhoods. It reveals a substantial and innovative approach that warrants perusal and consideration.” – Prof. Sigmund C. Shipp Hunter College and Prof. Jeffrey S. Lowe, University of Memphis
